Flights to Antarctica

Antarctica is a region located in the South Pole region and is the coldest, driest, and windiest continent on Earth. It has an area of approximately 14 million km², with 98% of it covered in ice. There are no permanent settlements in Antarctica, and it is only visited for scientific research and tourism activities.

Antarctica hosts some of the highest mountains on Earth, with the tallest being Vinson Massif at 4,892 meters. Antarctica is also covered in ice sheets that contain some of the world's largest freshwater sources. The melting of these ice sheets can cause a rise in sea levels.

The seas surrounding Antarctica serve as a habitat for whales, seals, penguins, and other marine mammals. Additionally, Antarctica has become an important research center for scientific research in fields such as atmospheric and climate sciences, space observation, and biology.

There are also some living organisms in Antarctica, but these organisms are generally only microorganisms. Some fish, krill, and jellyfish species have adapted to these cold waters as well.

The Antarctic Treaty is an international agreement signed in 1959 that aims to ensure that Antarctic research is conducted only for peaceful purposes and that the region is not used for military purposes. The treaty has been signed by 54 countries and has become an example of international cooperation to protect Antarctica as a scientific center and a peaceful environment.
